Telephone Triage

We now offer telephone triage. Triage just means deciding what, if any, treatment you need and which clinician you need to be seen by to get this treatment. Offering telephone triage means that you will be able to speak to a clinician on the same day and either your problem dealt with over the phone, if appropriate, or an appointment offered if the clinician feels you need to be seen. We hope this will work well and help improve access to appointments.

PrescriptionsYou are only able to order your prescription over the phone between 2pm - 5pm. You can however order online or by calling into the surgery at any time. Please allow 2 working days before collection and make allowances for weekends and public holidays.

Repeat Prescriptions

Will be issued in 28 days supply at the doctors discretion and are normally for patients on long term treatment. Requests may be requested by submitting the supplied counterfoil or online. Medication can also be ordered by telephone between 2pm-5pm daily. Please allow 2 working days before collection and make allowances for weekends and public holidays.

Please nominate a chemist and your repeat prescription will be sent directly to them.

Dispensing

Some patients who live in rural areas may have their medications dispensed at the surgery, during normal opening hours at all sites. If you have any queries please speak to one of our Dispensing receptionists.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

Prescription (per item): £8.60

12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00

3-month PPC: £29.10

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
